In Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Contracts serve as side quests where Geralt of Rivia hunts down monsters or solves mysteries for coin. One such contract is "Skellige's Most Wanted," which sends our hero on a thrilling chase across the picturesque yet dangerous islands of Skellige. This guide will provide you with a detailed walkthrough to ensure you not only complete the quest but also enjoy every twist and turn of its narrative.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  1. Starting the Quest

    • Head to Kaer Trolde Harbor in Skellige.
      • Look for a notice board near the dock.
        • Interact with the notice board to find the Contract: Skellige's Most Wanted.
          • You will learn about a monster terrorizing the area, possibly a fallen beast tethered to the region's lore.
  2. Investigating the Area

    • After accepting the contract, head to Hindersfjall by using your map.
      • Use the fast travel option to save time.
        • Arrive at the location and be ready for a fight as you approach Rannvaig Cave.
          • Inside, investigate the remains of attacked traders and examine the blood stains and tracks near the entrance.
  3. Tracking the Beast

    • Equip your Witcher senses (press Ctrl + space on PC or L2 + R1 on consoles).
      • Follow the footprints leading deeper into the cave.
        • Be cautious as you navigate, as various creatures may spawn during your search.
